Firefox 4 fails to install any add-ons. After they are downloaded the 'installing' bar gets stuck in the beginning and never finishes. After I updated from 3.6, FF4 sees none of my previous add-ons. When trying to install new ones I see no error dialog or message, the installing bar just doesn't go anywhere.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

To anyone out there still with this issue, The fix that worked for me was to create a new user profile. Give it a try, if it works you can just move your settings and stuff over. Oli

Thank you for this olirav - I can finally ditch ff 3.6 and start using ff4 ! Feel stupid now for not trying to create a new profile myself :)

For anyone else creating a new profile; here are instructions to create a new profile and how to keep your passwords, bookmarks, filled forms etc:
